What to Know

Critics Consensus

Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura might be punching below their weight with Dope Thief's derivative story, but that doesn't stop them from making this thriller a riveting ride.

Graeme Blundell The Australian Apr 25
Dope Thief is a cracker of a show, possessing a pulpy vitality, superb acting and diverting action sequences, and it is as astutely engineered as any series we’ve seen this year. Go to Full Review

“Dope Thief” gets real by scratching below the surface of Philadelphia and its environs. Go to Full Review
Dan Einav Financial Times Mar 18
3/5
The series is elevated by the two leads, whose lively rapport offsets the repetitive cycle of chases, shoot-outs and self-sabotage. Go to Full Review
Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Jun 3
“Dope Thief” alternates between high drama and some satiric comedy, not always making the transition gracefully. But Henry and Moura are weirdly compelling as two guys in way over their heads. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
As far as captivating crime dramas go, this is a wildly intense ride that should have you glued to your seat, shouting at the screen, pounding the cushions, and then bawling your eyes out. Go to Full Review
James Delingpole The Spectator Mar 27
What bothers me, slightly, is the jarring mix of very graphic violence with amiable, warm-hearted domestic comedy. Sure, it’s a strength of sorts, because the latter makes the former more bearable; but it’s also a weakness. Go to Full Review

William R. @MileHighMilk Dec 12 Excellent character development. On the edge of your seat suspense. Massive plot. This is one of those shows where you stay up past your bedtime for “just one more episode”. The acting in this was great and I loved the little tid bits of comedy. Well blended gritty thriller. See more Kathryn C @physical_angel Dec 8 If this doesn’t get a second season I’ll be devastated. Have not cared for some characters more. Eyes were not dry and I can’t wait to see what R & M will do from here on out. Pleeeeeaase renew apple. See more Patricia S Nov 12 Wonderful cast and excellently written. I hope there is a second season...please! 🤗🩶 See more Linda V Sep 13 I loved this and would have given it a five, if I hadn’t been driven crazy by the Latino protagonist before from Brazil, but written as if he was a Spanish speaker See more Brett E Sep 3 Started out great and then went downhill halfway through. First couple episodes were great. But the writing was just terrible and got worse each episode. Great actors though. See more Rob W @Mr_Inbetween Aug 7 Really great show, wish I had seen it sooner! BTH is incredible as is the entire cast. See more Read all reviews
